You might also want to take a look at the ability to broadcast a target to an alphafleet.
It's OP as hell to be able to make 250 ships aware of a new target to shoot!
Tbh I don't see the particular issue. Focus firing and alpha are already things. |

I can almost always do a biobreak in an alphafleet, so it's not really much of an issue there.
And I'd rather do a combat biobreak in a battleship that is aligned than a cruiser or battlecruiser not aligned.
As for the protection of my own self-interest, yeah, you mean like any other group?
I get "free time" to use e-war/tackle/cap-war because my ship doesn't require the same degree of management that other weapon systems require. OTOH you can destroy my weapon systems if I use them. Instead of whining on forums about how OP it might be (Even though several CFC peeps said it was bad right after the Fountain war) how about doing what "you" (Although IIRC you were in -A- then) did to Raiden. in Tenal?
Suicide several 250-man drake blobs into a sentry-fleet and I am sure CCP will notice it.
Until then, you can either whine or you can bomb/smartbomb the sentries.
Edit: Post above was to Onictus. Reply below is to the single-fire point by Benny & Ka:
True, it's an FC that triggers with drones. I can assure you thought that not everyone has assisted the drones, and not everyone has the right drones or many other silly mistakes. It's not much different if you have people km-prostituting on other people with drones or 1400mm guns.
Adding to that, it's very hard to destroy the guns of an alphafleet, and drones are notoriously hard to overheat.
No, I don't see the issue. |

@Andski if you want to make up quotes at least make one up that is believable.
Besides, even in your attempt at ridicule, yeah it's fine. |

And not by any close margins.
Besides, Andski is making up stuff to pull out his rectum to claim as quotes, don't put too much into it. |

You know, if it wasn't because you always do this, people might believe it. |

If you miss the one yellow box from a drone bunny with 250 sentries assigned you just suddenly take tons of damage and by then it's too late to react. I'm kinda floored, this is clearly a legitimate point against drone assisting that I hadn't realised.
I'm not even being sarcastic. I've seen a lot of complaints against assisting, and this is the first legitimate one.
I don't have an answer to you. Locking targets or whatever could be a part of it, dunno.
Right now I'm just sad that there was a legitimate complaint that I hadn't thought of.  |
